After plenty of research and my available space I decided to build my own cage. I'm not saying the standard cage is bad, but not what I want. My limits are only having a 30"x 18" base available. My second restriction is that I cant have water leaking from the sides. This led me to one...
if you go to a your local hardware store, assuming you have one. Such as Home Depot, You have 2 options. Outside plant screening or aluminum window screening. The outdoor has bigger holes and supposedly the window screening is bug proof, but each gap is about a few mm big, so a small nat or...
use the search function or google and you will find most of your answers. I googled "chameleon basking temp" and got this :eek:

remember there is no exact number but you get the idea.
I'm stuck deciding between the both, MistKing is $129.60 shipped and AquaZamp is $147.00. I'm all about supporting home country but how is the AquaZamp timer compared to MistKings timer? I can't seem to find a pic from AquaZamp or info about it.
Well....I bought the little guy :D
My main thing is terrarium vs cage. My house is normally 60-80 degrees and dry 90% of the time. When I get him he will be about 5 month old, what will be the best size for the next 6 months?
One last question, I really want to splurge and buy this guy:

I have a feeling about him but IDK if I should just splurge or hold off.
I was going to just paint the inside with Krylon paint, it can be used in saltwater fish tanks with nothing seeping so I assume it would cause no issues with the chameleon. Obviously I would have to coat the wood so it wouldn't soak up the moisture :D I did some pricing and I'm expecting to...
I finally decided, I'm going to see if I can find a captive bred Senegals Cham :D I had one when I was a kid from a pet store but it didn't live long :( I figure as an adult I'm more able to take care of the Cham and recognize what's going on. These don't get that big supposedly, would a...
Also, Is there anyplace else besides flchams.com to buy CAPTIVE BRED non Panther or Veiled Chameleons? I really can't seem to find any website that notes that there stock is captive bred.
I have a few questions after doing hours of reading and research online.
The main question is what type is best suited for my availability? The biggest cage I have space for is a 18x18x36.
To continue with the first question: What is a better overall choice for a beginner as far as less...
